My husband is forever hooked and called them the ultimate lazy weekend treat after the first bite. The mix of crispy bread and gooey filling still surprises everyone who tries them.
Ingredients
- Brioche or challah bread: for pillowy texture and golden color Pick a loaf with a tight crumb so the filling stays in place
- Butter: brings richness and helps that perfect crisp Always use real butter for the best flavor
- Cream cheese: must be at room temperature so it whips up light and blends outside of lumps
- Powdered sugar: sweetens the filling and melts seamlessly unlike granulated sugar
- Fresh strawberries: give bright juicy flavor Pick berries that are deep red and fragrant for the best outcome
- Strawberry preserves or jam: boosts strawberry flavor and adds a syrupy touch Use a jam with visible fruit pieces if you can
- Eggs and whole milk: together coat the sandwiches for a classic French toast effect This duo is the secret to that tender crust
- Powdered sugar (for dusting): for an irresistible bakery finish
